to make : facial scrub

This isn't so much a project as a quick little thing I use regularily: facial cleanser and baking soda facial scrub I have sensitive skin. Anything citrus-y or scrubby will irritate my face, and it'll stay mad at me for a very, very long time. This combination is wonderful though! I feel like a cover girl model afterwards.

I first found out about this in a book by Paula Begoun, here's what she has to say:
"Also, don't forget that good old reliable baking soda can be used as a mechanical exfoliant over breakouts and blemishes. Wet your face and mix a small amount of baking soda (about the size of a dime) with your cleanser. Gently apply the cleanser to your face in a circular fashion, being careful not to over rub. Then rinse your face as usual."
I also really like Paula's facial cleanser and toner, they are the only one I've found that are fragrance free (I hate the fragrances put into facial products, haaate them). She gives it to you straight on sun damage.
